Mamata Banerjee urged her supporters to maintain peace in a video message today from a hospital in Kolkata, a day after alleging an attack in which she had suffered injuries. "I appeal to everyone to be calm and maintain restraint, and to not do anything that will inconvenience people," said the Bengal Chief Minister in a video message from her hospital bed.
Her leg in a cast, Mamata Banerjee spoke about her injuries and said she would have to resume her campaign for the Bengal election in a wheelchair but avoided repeating allegations of an attack and a conspiracy that she had made last evening in Nandigram.
"It is true that I was injured in my arm, leg... there were ligament injuries. I suffered chest pain... I was greeting people from the car and my leg was crushed by the door. I was given medicines and taken to Kolkata... my treatment is on," she said.
"I will be back in two-three days. My leg injury will remain a problem but I will manage. I won't let it affect my meetings but I will have to move around in a wheelchair, for that I will need your support," said the Chief Minister, who has signed up for one of her toughest election contests in Nandigram, where her BJP rival for the state polls is her former trusted aide Suvendu Adhikari.
